I think it's commutative property of addition (you can change order of addition but in the end it would be the same)

It's associative property. It's switched the grouping,
<span>(x+8)+4=x+(8+4)</span>

$Use:\\distributive\ property:a(b+c)=ab+ac\\commutative\ property:a\cdot b=b\cdot a\\assiocative\ property:a\cdot(b\cdot c)=(a\cdot b)\cdot c\\and\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\-----------------------\\\\4x(2x^2-7x+3)=(4x)(2x^2)+(4x)(-7x)+(4x)(3)\\\\=(4\cdot2)(x^1\cdot x^2)-(4\cdot7)(x^1\cdot x^1)+(4\cdot3)(x)\\\\=8x^{1+2}-28x^{1+1}+12x\\\\=\boxed{8x^3-28x^2+12x}$
